It's best to start working with puppies very early to accept touching of the ears, feet, and other body parts for grooming and examination.

If the dog is already grown, it's more of a challenge, but I'm sure like any training it can be done. Work on associating touch with pleasure by petting Fiona and work your way up to her ears. Praise her in a soothing voice. Build up her comfort level with you massaging her ears and eventually she should allow you to hold her head still so that you can look in her ears.
